    Upon Arrival, please make you weapon "safe" near the entrance at the handgun clearing station (Red unloading station).

    FBCSO Handgun Qualification:

    If you are a Deputy with the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office and your Birth month is in December, you may register for a time slot for you Annual Handgun Qualification. The Qualifications will be held at the Richmond PD Range, 204 Clay St., Richmond, TX . Before we can initiate regular operations, we must accommodate all individuals whose birth month is in December and anyone who did NOT make their previous birth month.

    Each qualification session has been divided into hour and fifteen-minute intervals, which will encompass weapon inspection, registration, qualification, and weapon cleaning. To ensure a seamless process, it is necessary for you to arrive approximately 10 minutes before the start of your session. Arriving late may lead to the rescheduling of your qualification to a different time slot or even a different date, depending on the number of shooters already registered for the subsequent time slot. For instance: if you have registered for the 0830-0945 time slot, you should arrive around 0815 hours and anticipate beginning shooting at approximately 0845.

    Please limit this to your Duty weapon exclusively at this moment. Once we are fully operational, we will introduce additional time slots for off-duty weapons.

    Upon Arrival, please make you weapon "safe" near the entrance at the handgun clearing station (Red unloading station). SAFE: removing your magazine, pointing the barrel of your weapon into the RED unloading station and extract the round in the chamber. Lock the slide to the rear and holster. Do NOT reinsert your magazine into your weapon. The Firearms Staff will not accept your handgun until it is deemed to be in safe configuration ( Magazine removed, Empty chamber, and Slide locked back).
